Hi,
Here's my question:
For what values of p does the series of the summation as n goes from 2 to infinity of 1/npln(n)? I have to either the direct comparison test or the limit comparison test, but I'm not sure how to do that. I have attached a pic of all the series tests just in case they're needed.
